Post 80 is what I do.

Cross check that sucker with a smart phone and be done. My Tom Tom has all kinds of information wrong but it still navigates fine if you cross check it.

If I know where I’m going to day before I just do a Google map search from my computer, if not I use the Maps app. There’s been several times I could not find an address on my Tom Tom and I just Google for address then located nearest road crossing, plug that into Tom Tom, then used my head or smart phone ping for the rest.

THe problem is that Tom-Tom and Garmin will not exist as companies soon.

Their product is replaced by software on a smartphone that has functionality that is as up-to-date as you can get - so maybe some people prefer a stand alone GPS - but it’s not enough of a market to support a continuing, improving product line.

So you are likely to see more flimsy GPS devices, lower quality, and less durability as Garmin and Tom-tom spiral into the oblivion that is their inevitable destiny.
